1875. ] SPECIES OF SPHINGID. 239 
Subfamily MacroGuossin&. 
Genus Satraspes, Moore. 
1. SATASPES XYLOCOPaRIs, n. sp. (Plate XXXVI. fig. 1.) 
Primaries semitransparent smoky brown, basal half crossed by 
three black bands, the innermost near the base three times as broad 
as the others, the outermost diffused, oblique, crossing the wing at 
the end of the cell ; base grey; secondaries with apical area to first 
median branch semitransparent brown ; anal-abdominal area opaque, 
black-brown ; nervures blackish; costa silvery white; head, palpi, 
and antennz above dull black ; thorax bright golden yellow, collar 
blackish behind: abdomen black; the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth 
segments clothed with yellow hairs, with yellow-tipped black lateral 
tufts ; anal tuft black ; wings below somewhat lilacine, black-brown 
at base, veins black ; palpi below slate-coloured ; thorax dark brown, 
yellow at base of wings ; abdomen black, segments slate-coloured at 
the margins. Expanse of wings 2 inches 11 lines. 
Shanghai, China. Type, coll. F. Moore. 
This handsome species is allied to S. wniformis and S. ventralis. 
The species of Sataspes appear to mimic Xylocopa estuans and 
X. flavonigrescens. 
Genus Hemaris, Dalman. 
2. HeEMARIS MANDARINA, n. sp. (Plate XXXVI. fig. 2.) 
Nearly allied to H. sieboldi (whitelyi, Butl.), but differs in the 
coloration of the secondaries (which is like that of H. radians), the 
basal and abdominal areas above being ochreous, the costa pale 
yellow ; primaries below with basal half of costa ochreous; inner 
margin pale yellow, ochreous in front ; secondaries with costa, base, 
and abdominal area ochreous ; palpi and pectus pale testaceous. 
Expanse of wings 2 inches 1 line. 
Shanghai, China. Type, coll. F. Moore. 
This species bears much the same relation to A. radians that 
H. sieboldi does to H. alternata, the dark brown border of prima- 
ries being strongly denticulated in H. radians and H. alternata, 
but entire in H. sieboldi and H. mandarina. 
Genus RHOPALUPSYCHE, n. gen. 
Allied to Macroglossa, but at once distinguished by the distinctly 
clubbed antennz, resembling those of a Hesperidian butterfly : the 
wings are also somewhat shorter and the terminal joint of palpi more 
prominent. 
Type, R. nycteris of Kollar. 
3. RHOPALOPSYCHE BIFASCIATA,n. sp. (Plate XXXVI. fig. 4.) 
Primaries with basal two thirds and outer margin brownish cine- 
reous, disk red-brown; two parallel central transverse dark brown 
bands: secondaries orange-yellow ; outer margin, except at anal 
angle, rather broadly dark brown: body brownish grey ; metathorax,
